Eww@marrying your relative…wtf!? =\
How else could they make sure the money and the property stay in the family,except to marry your cousin
thumbing it down,want make it untrue.Pretty much every culture has done it
What happened to this girl?
Thanks. I wondered, that smb. with name “Holmes”
is “german” and “russian”. One should add english and
scottish heritage, actually predominate by him. He’s
partly german (like 30% americans), but not (ethic)
russian at all.
Russians are communist mongrels. She is not white.
I’m surprised. I thought american white celebrities are
anglo-saxon, they are all, but not anglo-saxon, they
have fake english names, and some of them are even
“communist mongrels”, P.Anderson, too
Has smb. detailed information about her father’s
heritage?
There is no such thing as race. There is no such thing as black, white or anything else. They’re just made up labels to categorize people. Everyone has individual ancestries based on who specifically they are related to. We are all individuals, and that means we are all the same too.
Yes Russian is white dumbass. I have Russian on my father’s side and I have fair skin, blonde blue eyes
Yeah!
